Hi, my ex-wife and I began the separation journey two years ago. It was inevitable that it was going to end up in court. Thankfully we've no children and the home is the only bone of contention. The relationship broke down many years ago between infidelity, trust issues and a general feeling that no real relationship existed. At the moment, its all solicitors letters, accusations and refusal to negotiate or accept any offers I've made. Ultimately, she wants the home, but cant afford to buy me out or to take the mortgage on by herself. (The bank are likely to refuse to release me from the loan). On top of that, she demands maintenance and pension contributions. We both work full time, in our late 30's and married for 10 years or so. I've had two promotions since the separation began, so earn a bit more than she does now. I'd be keen to hear from others up and learn from their experiences in court if there are similar situations out there...
